the following method, which was implemented in VA SMalltalk 8.0 (Seaside 2.9) returns a block for rendering a password input and does'nt work anymore in VA Smalltalk 8.0.1 Build B128 and B130. Input fields, radio buttons are concerned too. The callback method #setPassword isn't called any more.

I guess that's the Seaside Issue 460, which has just recently been fixed. Maybe it's not in the Seaside Alpha which is part of VAST 8.0.1 (B130, however, says it contains 3.0a5, which is younger than the fix, so it should be there...) :

the problem is solved: there is a new library called #PTDeploymentLibrary, which has several scripts, which were implemented in #SUDeploymentLibrary. I added the #PTDeploymentLibrary to my application and everthing run fine.
